Trump is going to nuclear over this and it’s a good thing. It’s right up his alley (economy, taxes) then he ties it into corruption (how they stole his taxes) and starts hammering her on all her scandals. Much better than fighting over a porn stars weight.
This is the comical side of the report. There’s absolutely nothing illegal by his action. The Senate has helped to write 70,000-odd pages of tax code, and this is simply one small part of their effort. If he had avoided the write-off....one could say he was AWFUL stupid. If this were you or me....we’d write it off as well.
I’m sure an audit came out of this, and the audit confirmed he was correct. So, what is the real story here? I don’t see anything worth discussing....except where the NY Times got the report. Seems to me....he can sue them and drag them down to the bankrupt door once again.
How much tax has hilLIARy paid on the reported Two Billion she’s collected into her “family charitable foundation” that paid out only about 6 percent? Or did she offset that two billion of income by donating another pair of her Billy goat’s used underwear — like the Clintons did a few years ago. Nobody out here gives a D about trump’s taxes and Hillary is the epic case example of Corruption
Trump supporters will say "Wow! Thank God it is still deductible" because for them it's just as legal as taking a deduction for dependents and child care credits.
The reality is that companies don't get a tax refund. Over payments are credited for future tax obligations. 900+ million in tax credits would cover a lot of taxes. But those credits would lawfully be owed to Trump. Not some favor, scam, scheme, etc. Just legit.
If this is true, It would be politically misleading but "smart" to get Trump to release his tax returns. If he had no tax obligation due to past over payments, his tax returns may actual show no declared charitable donations simply because their was no tax liability to deduct it from.
This will not effect Trump simply because people are not basing their vote on his saintly reputation. For the same reason, this won't hurt Hillary either.
I'm just glad I have less issues to ignore when voting for Trump than Hillary's voters do. Imagine how much you would have to deny, ignore or just accept in order to pull the lever for Hillary.... You can't pinch your nose hard enough to suppress that stink. Not even fabreeze can help you with that one.....
I’m still not sure how you bet on an election.
That does seem to be his M.O. in past campaigns... getting an opponent's private or sealed information magically released.
Bill Clinton on his last day in office pardoned the biggest tax cheat in the history of the planet in return for a million dollar cash donation to the Clinton Library.. and the Democrats couldn’t have cared less
She wrote the book on crime and corruption!
I agree- an effort to give the DNC media some anti- Trump content to yammer about this Sunday to muzzle the lying criminal’s “basement dweller” comments.
From here to Nov their entire strategy is to give the DNC media fake stories and keep Trump on defense so he can’t focus on issues.
We’ve already seen in polls, Trump wins when the focus is on issues and the lying criminal’s disrespect of ordinary Americans. Therefore they must give the DNC something else - anything else- to pretend is news.
I doubt they think that. I'm sure the Dems look at the tax issue as only one thing they can try to trip Trump up on.
BHO still has sealed records that have not seen the light of day... total hypocrisy.
Vegas.
I hope it happens very soon, instead of in the afterlife. I’d rather not see our country continue to go down the toilet.
As election day draws nearer, the Democrats are going to get a hell of a lot dirtier and nastier. As stated earlier, this one will not be for the faint hearted. The Left has made their intentions clear as they can be made or stated. They intend to hold on to their power using which ever method is necessary, including force, intimation, and violence. Our side will answer one question. Will we cower down, tuck our tails between our legs and slink off. Or will will we heat them head to head. The fate of the Nation depends on how that question is answered. It is going to be We, the People that saves the Nation. We cannot depend on the Courts, the Left owns and controls the Courts. For the most part, they control the top of the law enforcement apparatus. As it was in George Washington;s time, it boils down to We, the People. Both singular and plural.
“I’m still not sure how you bet on an election.”
How as in morally or legally?
This is the best thing that could have happened for Trump. Trump followed the law for 20 years. Trump made a terrific comeback. Do they really think that the average American believes taxes are good?
Not if he ties it to the ridiculous tax codes. All of America can relate!
I’ve read also that Trump took advantage of a tax code Bill Clinton signed into law.
So true. Not only do the lib-prog’s not care about the corruption of their leaders; they endorse it. It means we have half the country who are criminals or align with criminals. That does not bode well for the future of our country unless they can be removed from the equation somehow.
